An air compressor receiver tank, also known as a compressed air storage tank, is a stainless steel pressure vessel specifically designed for storing compressed air. It is often used in conjunction with air compressors, dryers, and other equipment to form a compressed air station, primarily in industrial production. Its volume is typically 10%-20% of the compressor's discharge capacity; a standard model such as C-1/8 has a volume of 1 cubic meter.
This equipment reduces frequent compressor starts and stops by buffering pressure fluctuations and can precipitate liquid water and impurities to improve air quality. The tank is made of stainless steel and is suitable for high-cleanliness industries such as food and medical. Core components include a safety valve (automatic overpressure relief) and a pressure gauge (real-time monitoring). Selection must match the system's discharge capacity and filter processing capacity. The installation location can be chosen based on operating conditions: placing it before the dryer enhances sludge removal; placing it after the dryer addresses fluctuations in air consumption. The product must comply with GB150 standards; when purchasing, the nameplate pressure parameters, stamped serial number, and quality assurance certificate should be verified.
